@reiddragon @siina not necessarily…

It's just that all the other alternatives don't make much sense.

• Noone wants to go back from PipeWire to ALSA + VAAPI + Jack (or even OSS).

It is perfectly possible to make a non-#systemd - #Linux, in fact there are even #GNUfree Linux distros…

@cryptgoat And yes, I do roll my own stuff aka. a #GNUfree #Linux #Distro, because #RMS being readmitted to the #FSF is just bad...

@ramin_hal9001 except that's yet another package and yet another config file and thus requires #Guix to support the target system. Which may not be the case (i.e. ancient versions of #Solaris or some #BSD-based distro or some weird embedded linux device...

• So whilst that may be attractive to some (and I don't deny the fact that it has merits) I don't think that me publicly hating #YAML and working on a #GNUfree toybox+musl/linux distro is the target audience of it.

I mean if someone wants to port guix to #OS1337 they are happily invited to do so and I'll gladly accept that contribution, but it's currently not on my agenda...

@lmemsm basically the Idea behind it is to be a brutally simple #toybox + #musl / #linux distro that grew out of the necessity for me to actually think about #firmware for some projects.

• And lets just say I did saw @w84death 's #Floppynux and @landley did present a lot of convincing arguments alongside a literal walktrough to get started.

Basically I want something that is so simple and auditable that it's practical to make it pass any #verification demands for #SecureTerminal|s in #CriticalInfrastructure and #Communications.

• OFC one may point at my other projects and say: "Why don't you just put #RaspberryPiOS on a #microSD?" ignoring that the smallest image is >330MB in size and that seems kinda overkill for essentially my demands for a minimalist #Linux with very few programs in userspace.

Not to mention a #GNUfree - #Linux distro is the way to go if I want that thing to not get bricked constantly by minor #GlibC-changes...

• End goal is something akin to #MSDOS in it's brutal simplicity, but way more extendable.

I hope that answers your question...

• Sorry for the delay.

@freya @BrodieOnLinux I mean, why not?

• That's the beauty of #FLOSS...

If someone wants to make a "Square-Wheeled Car" then they can...

• I don't expect #OS1337 to get anywhere, because it's more of an exercise in minimalism but hey, I see it as a fun little idea...

Me wanting to do something #GNUfree and going "statically compiled binaries only" is also a bit of "headbanging against concrete" kinda style...

@freya @BrodieOnLinux same with @OS1337 ...

It's #GNUfree-ness is a goal, because it's a #toybox+#musl / #linux distro!

• I just haven't got the time to change it over from #GCC to #LLVM...

@eSheep #tmux because I want my #Linux (OS/1337 / @OS1337) #GNUfree...

#OS1337
